Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shares his message to voters in the Uncommitted Movement who are considering not voting in the presidential race over the Biden administration's handling of Israel.
I reject the idea that war crimes are always the only choice we have in any election. But if thats your slant, OK, why not push for a third option-- getting Harris to stop the shipments by applying voter pressure on her. The only time politicians care about what the elctorate thinks at all is right before a close election, like right now. Why are so many dems not pushing her to take a better stand than she has had?
I actually think stopping shipments is not going to achieve anything. Polling shows its popular (so I disagree that dems aren’t pushing Kamala, Biden, etc) but if Israel just changes arms suppliers its easily undermined. And we don’t even know if like there’s conditions on shipments like “we won’t use nuclear weapons on Gaza if the shipments continue” There’s just too much we don’t know to vote based solely on another country’s actions.
I think a better policy is to just take in gazan refugees and make it harder for hardline israelis to visit the US. Do the pullout from vietnam movie script. Of course this is a less popular policy and it is one dems likely aren’t getting pressure to do, even though its low risk and high preservation of human life.
